The Jool Story

I’m James Roe, the founder of Jool.


And I was that kid—bright, imaginative, and completely under-challenged in school.

While I thrived in curiosity and big ideas, the classroom always felt like it was holding me back. Everything changed when I began teaching in South Korea, where I saw something extraordinary:

8-year-olds debating ethics. 10-year-olds reading Shakespeare.


No stress. Just structure, challenge, and joy.

It was a wake-up call.


If this was possible for students there - why weren’t we doing it for brilliant, under-challenged children back home?

That question became a mission.

That mission became Jool.

🎓 From Seoul to Cambridge

After years of teaching advanced English, philosophy, and writing in Korea, I returned to the UK to design something new - something elite, but joyful. Rigorous, but kind.
 

Now, from our base in Cambridge, we support students across the UK, US,  and beyond - through 1:1 online tuition, study camps, and our in-house curriculum workbooks.

No wasted time.
